Quantum of Solace


Watching Daniel Craig play the infamous James Bond in last years Casino Royale was a refreshing take on a brutal and personally tormented Bond that has not been touched since Sean Connery. In the follow up to Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace keeps the same Bond, but loses its originality. 

The movie is filled with chase scenes and constant explosions that seems more fitting for Jason Bourne than James Bond. Now Bond wouldn't be Bond without chase scenes and explosions, but to this level seems to used as a tactic to distract the viewer from a weak plot. 

But the movie has all we love about Bond: fancy cars, beautiful women (especially Ukrainian beauty Olga Kurylenko), and swanky parties that for some reason the bad guys pick as a spot to do business. Quantum of Solace is entertaining but should go down as just another Bond movie.

After die another day it is the best movie I ever watch. The cars and the weapons used by the bond were super cool. I need to see it for several times. So much action and adventure also did not feel the difference of the actor too. I think it is because the stronger appearance of the bond culture http://www.80millionmoviesfree.com allows me to enjoy it glad to see movies like this.
